Whenever I'm getting ready to shoot a beach wedding, WindGuru is consulted on a daily basis in the lead up to the big day. This was no exception and the forecast was sunshine, but with unseasonal wind. Steph and Malena had already been married in Argentina so this day was a blessing celebration with local family and friends. There were some delays as family coming from … [Read more...]
The KZN Midlands is always beautiful and shooting a wedding there is a pleasure, especially for a couple as lovely as these two. The weather on the day was great even though a little windy and Crab Apple is a really wonderful venue. I could sense the nerves as Adam kept wiping his brow while he was getting dressed. Amy, on the other hand, seemed totally relaxed as everyone … [Read more...]
I thank God for days like these. The day dawned with the Queen Mary II steaming in over an hour early under a sultry sky. Then the sky lit up and the waves started pushing in. It's unfortunate that this bliss was interrupted by a double drowning at North Beach before the lifeguards came on duty. The sea remained unsettled as the tide pushed in but as soon as the tide turned … [Read more...]
From the moment I met Andre and Ruth prior to their wedding, I knew that this one was going to be special. They are such an easy going and fun loving couple who very obviously adore one another. The setting for their wedding was the beautiful KZN Midlands at Yellowwood Cafe´ and the weather, although threatening rain, was perfect. Andre was not too keen on photos of the guys … [Read more...]
After their engagement shoot, I was really looking forward to doing this wedding. The day started with a drive through the beautiful central midlands to Ixopo where the wedding was to take place. The guys were all getting ready at Lwandile's family home and it was quite a spirited affair and a lot of fun. Then it was off to find Pam, who was getting ready at her family home. … [Read more...]
After Sadie's shoot, Megan contacted me to bring her little girl into the studio. Thorin and Megan arrived with little 5 week old Freya, who was fast asleep. But not for long..... Once the lights started popping and she got a look at the photographers mug, she expressed her disgust in no certain terms. She certainly has a healthy set of lungs!! It didn't take too long for her … [Read more...]
I'll be shooting their wedding in Ixopo in December and when we met, Lwandile admitted to being terrified of being in front of the camera. So I suggested an engagement shoot so that he could relax and be himself with the camera around. We needn't have worried - he was great and we had a lot of fun at Botanical Gardens on Sunday. Pamela is such a natural in front of the camera … [Read more...]
After doing a baby bump shoot with Kyle & Greer a few weeks ago, I was stoked to be able to photograph their gorgeous daughter. Now Sadie was not about to make anybody's life easy during her first official photo shoot. I think she had already seen all the outfits that mom wanted her to wear and she was not keen to play along. But with a little patience and coaxing, we … [Read more...]
Wow, what a beautiful day for Dennis and Madz!! The service at Grace Family Church was awesome and their love for God and one another just flowed. And Dennis is such an emotional guy, evidenced in the Church and during his speech at the reception. After the service, the array of goodies served was a sight to behold especially the tower of donuts! (always have to mention the … [Read more...]
From a cultural perspective, this was certainly a wedding with a difference and I was very tempted with the title "Saries and Bagpipes". After my meeting with Jon and Micheleani I was really looking forward to the wedding - what a happy and easy going couple. The big day arrived and the threat of rain didn't really materialise fortunately. After a colourful shoot in Chatsworth … [Read more...]
